E|E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore - John Prine E|E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Tabbed by: Dave S Tuning: Standard Artist: John Prine Album: John Prine Year: 1971 [Verse 1] G C While digesting Readers Digest in the back of a dirty book store D G A plastic flag with gum on the back Fell out on the floor. G C Well I picked it up and ran outside And slapped it on my windowshield. D G And If I could see old Betsy Ross Id tell her how good I feel. [Chorus] C G But, your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore. D G They’re already overcrowded From your dirty little war C G Now Jesus don’t like Killin’ No matter what the reasons for. D G Bb C D And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore. [Verse 2] G C Well I went to the Bank this morning And the cashier said to me D G If you join the Christmas Club We'll give you ten of them flags for free. G C I didn’t mess a round a bit I took him up on what he said D G And stuck them stickers all over my car And one on my wifes forehead. [Chorus] C G But, your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore. D G They’re already overcrowded From your dirty little war C G Now Jesus don’t like Killin’ No matter what the reasons for. D G Bb C D And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore. [Verse 3] G C Well I got my windshield so filled with flags I couldn’t see D G So I ran my car upside a curb and right into a tree G C By the time they got a doctor down I was already dead, D And I’ll never understand Why the man, G Standing in the Pearly Gates said… [Chorus] C G But, your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore. D G We’re already overcrowded From your dirty little war C G Now Jesus don’t like Killin’ No matter what the reasons for. D G Bb C D And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore.
